“After working together for only one month, Metis understands our business and delivers outstanding PR and marketing value every day. A reporter recently asked me when it becomes important for a startup to hire a chief marketing officer to support the go-to-market strategy. I told her to just hire Metis Communications. It's more cost effective than a CMO and we have received immediate ROI. The entire team at Metis is really that awesome.”
- Steve Pogorzelski, former president of Monster.com and current CEO of ClickFuel
“I have worked with the Metis team for nearly ten years at both EqualLogic and DataGravity, so I shouldn’t have been surprised by the overwhelming media response Metis generated for DataGravity’s funding news – but I was. Despite the fact that we are in stealth mode and won’t discuss product strategy or technology specifics, Metis got us interviews with almost 20 top-tier business and trade publications, and the news appeared in nearly three dozen respected outlets. I absolutely trust the team at Metis; they have never ceased to impress me with their creativity and results after all these years.”
– John Joseph, co-founder and president of DataGravity
“Metis Communications helped my marketing team at two separate companies produce impressive coverage in a short amount of time. Metis consistently generates quality results because they have an aggressive, first-mover approach. The Metis team knows how to leverage their long-standing relationships because they understand and anticipate the needs of all the key players. This team helps companies tell the right story and get in front of the right audience.”
Eran Aloni, director of product marketing at Adobe EchoSign
“People ask me regularly how SundaySky is able to generate such a steady stream of great press coverage; I tell them it’s Metis. Whether presenting and securing media opportunities, devising new pitch ideas, or creatively identifying ways to leverage our content marketing efforts, the Metis team delivers unprecedented PR value on a daily basis. It’s an age-old question: Can an external agency provide meaningful and measurable PR results? Metis does, and is the best firm I’ve encountered in my 18 years as a technology marketer.”
Kelly Ford, vice president of marketing, SundaySky
“I joined WatchDox in January 2012, and Metis Communications quickly proved itself to me within three months, generating stellar media relations results. In that time, Metis secured three opportunities in the Wall Street Journal through news and customer interviews. In fact, with the first small update in a product release we did together, Metis garnered coverage by creatively presenting a bigger picture story to MacWorld,ComputerWorld, PC Advisor and Forbes.com. With dedicated resources and great communication, Metis helped spread WatchDox’s news to more than 12.5 million readers.”
Ryan Kalember, chief product officer at WatchDox

"Having worked with Metis once, I returned — quickly, and enthusiastically — for a second engagement when I moved on to new pastures. Why? In 20 years as a media professional — 10 as a journalist/writer and a similar number in global marketing — Metis is, by a comfortable distance, the best PR agency with which I've worked. The Metis team is imaginative, attentive, intelligent, responsive and, most important of all, reliable and trustworthy. If you're looking for PR representation, then I wholeheartedly endorse Metis; they really are that good."
Keith Brody, director of global marketing at DigitalRoute
“Metis Communications is a true partner for startup companies that are in need of industry message testing and market awareness. My work with Metis spanned more than four years while I was at a startup virtualization company that was a first of its kind. Metis consistently helped outline the strategic vision to create awareness, informed us of breaking news and industry topics that we could capitalize on, and most importantly, did it quickly and efficiently to deliver on the results they promised.”
David M. Lynch, president, The Fios Group
“I've been working with Metis for almost two years on two different SaaS B2B projects. During that time, Metis has often served as my chief marketing officer and marketing department, taking the reigns to create the content and strategy to support successful traditional and social media PR campaigns. Metis steadily garnered high-profile coverage on CNN, in the Washington Post, and in other top-tier publications. I found the Metis team to be highly motivated, proactive, professional, creative and quick to learn. I enthusiastically recommend Metis to anyone looking for a PR company that delivers measurable, impactful results.”
Eran Savir, entrepreneur, CEO and business consultant at Businessify “Metis Communications understands our technology, industry and customers. We needed an agency that could drive our entry into a new market and help build credibility and visibility at a rapid pace – and with Metis we got just that. They have done a superb job of positioning Embotics in the marketplace and connecting us to our primary influencers. We are delighted with both the service we have received and more importantly, the results obtained.”
Jay Litkey, president and CEO, Embotics “Metis Communications worked with Ioxus to establish the company as a thought leader in the ultracapacitor market, launch new products, create an online presence, generate marketing information, and place bylines and industry thought pieces. With Metis' help, Ioxus' website launched a worldwide presence, including social media, leading to more than 25,000 hits to date and reaching millions of readers per month between industry news, Twitter followers, and blog readers.”
Chad Hall, vice president of sales, Ioxus “Metis Communications is one of the few public relations agencies that will drive and grow your PR program as if it were its own. Metis takes seriously the partnership with its clients, organically becoming a part of your company's extended team, guiding you through ever-increasing levels of market awareness and brand building. With each success, there is a constant eye to the next step, the next challenge – and always with a sense of having fun with it even when working very hard. In every aspect of its practice – from PR to AR, from trade press to business press, from strategy to tactics – Metis demonstrates extraordinary depth of strategic understanding and fearlessness in execution.”
Roman Kichorowsky, senior director, Public Relations, FalconStor Software “Metis is a cut above other PR firms and is easily the most valuable marketing communications team with which I have had the pleasure of working. As a small company with limited resources, Aprius needed Metis to become an extension of our marketing team. They always went above and beyond the call of duty to produce rich PR and marketing campaigns. Metis navigated us through the rapidly evolving landscape of social media, provided invaluable insight into the use of new media channels and tools, and executed a highly successful strategy. The depth of their network and the very nature of the relationships that they have cultivated with industry commentators always reflected positively on us and resulted in excellent, balanced coverage. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Metis to any company.”
Craig Thompson, former vice president of marketing at Aprius, now director of strategic marketing, Finisar
